When sheep are left to their natural Inclinations they seem to bring forth their young In February, as a rule. but some scatter along from December to June. says the Iowa Homestead The period of gestation Is about i. days. When lambs are born in win • they . should halve a dry. \V311111 1.3 pen, but after two or three .1 s t should be put in au airy pen , ed with at slinny yard and peeting ewes put in the lino, pea. It is a good plan to trim a Mile oa the wool -from near the udder so t hi - little one Call Find the teat It is 11,, best to try to assist the little one by holding it up. 'as most of them seem to object to it. If lambs have got chilled before nursing till a gallon jug with hot wa- ter. wrap a sack around it and put It in a corn basket; then put the lambs in the basket and throw a horse blan- ket over all. They will soon revive The Lincoln Is a large sheep, with brisket full and deep, the body round and well proportioned, and, while It is a heavy animal, it has no coarseness about. . This sheep has been improved by refinement through many years of careful breeding, making it desirable for both mutton and wool. The hand- some wether shown was champion at the Chicago live stock show. and commence running around the Jug and soon are strong enough to put beside their mother. Feeding sheep for breeding purtoses should be done carefully. If they have fall grass. cornstalks, etc.. do not feed any grain at all until lambs are drop- ped. then give each one about two pounds of carrots and a little shelled oats twice each day for the first week and after that all she wants to eat of shelled corn, oats and carrots, butter- milk, potato and apple parings, straw, beets and cornstalks. with plenty of water, especially if there is no snow. There is no use of grinding any kind of grain for sheep. If lambs are not born until grass time and grants is good no grain need ever be fed. A ewe is generally good for breeding as long as her teeth are good, and that Is from six to eight years. Even at that age she will sell well to the butcher, though often ob- jectionably fat. Cull well every sea- son after lambs have been sold or weaned, for even in a small flock there are usually some that are not desira- ble. Some bring poor and misshapen lambs; others are not good mothers; others after a few years have such large tents that the lamb cam hardly nurse, and some lose their udders from fever and other causes. These should be noted and taken to the shambles as soon as in good flesh. In this way you can keep a flock looking well, of uniform size and desirable form, mak- ing it a pleasure to look at as well as increasing the profits. Such n flock can be handled with profit and pleas. ure. bled citizens, so that It was under good headway before they came in. Sher- man came up to Clemens. who sat smoking uncoecernedly. \ he said.

This rainy day game is great fss and the more players the merrier. Sc lect a large room, the emptier the bet ter. At one end of it rope off \the' stage.\ From this rope must hang a white curtain (two old sheets of heav) muslin will do), stretching from With to wall and opening in the middle - There must, of course, be a teacher who must be witty and cleveç. at mak lug speeches. Some older person might volunteer who will explain that the elocution class is about to give an ex- hibition. The class will then tAl1114, front behind the curtain, standing lined up before it. As the teacher calls for a certain performer the line draw away front him, leaving him standing close to the curtain. Now, on the other side of this cur thin stand an equal number of players in front of certain slits which have been made for their arms to go through. If there Is a single perform er he stands, with hands behind him, between two convenient slits. The person on the other side thrusts his arms through these slits, making a gro- tesque combination with the person outside. and the recitation begins, the speaker being aided by the gestures of the dumb. invisible orator. When the rerfiation is hi concert or in dialogue and when. as it often hap- pens, the sneakers are giris_and the \dumb orators\ are boys the effect is side splitting. A good recitation for the purpose lit \The Smack In School,\ but the sober pieces do just as well. for the contrasts are even more ludicrous. Poe's \Ha- ven\ and \Curfew Shall Not Bing To- night\ are also excellent. Transparent Butterfly. In \Our Search For a Wilderness\ NVilliam Beebe of the New York zoo- logiCal park describes his first sight of the transparent butterfly Moeilera pie- ru) of British Guiana, an insect through whit tst• outstretched wings any sub- stance on which it rests can be clearly seen. \As we crossed a swirling creek on the trunk of at mighty fallen tree some- thing fluttered ahead,\ he writer,. \We could not see what It was. Closer we Caine. mid still the object remained in- distinct. We seemed to see a butterfly,' and yet Gott appeared impossible. At last we marked it down on a fern frond told crept up until our eyes were within two feet of R. Nothing was visible but the graceful iacework of the frond until a slanting beam of , sunlight struck it, and there, close be -1 fore us, was a butterfly that spread fully three inches, but was wholly! transparent. save for three tiny spots! of azure near the margin of each hind wing. \As we looked it drifted to a double headed flower of scarlet, -and when it alighted the scarlet of the flower and the green of the leaf were as distinct as if seen through thin mica, and the faint gray haze of the insect's wings Was marked only by the indistinct vena- tion.\ • Suspicion—A Card Dame. The game of \suspicion\ may be played by tiny number of persons. Deal all the carols. After all have ex- amined their cards the player at the left of the dealer plays the lowest card he has. Ace is low in this game. In- stead of playing so the card may be seen. It is played face down, and the player calls out what it is. The next player. also putting a card face down, calls the next number. If the first card was \three\ the seeond player calls \four the third \five.\ and so on. It is not necessary for the card laid down to be the actual number one calls out. The fun of the game is to put down the wrong carti without being suspetted. It is. naturally, not often that the cards run straight on, as no one may play out of turn, so if one player suspects another has played a wrong card he cries, \I suspect you!\ The player must then show his card, and if it should not be the one he says he must take all the cards laid down Into his pack. Should it happen to be the right one, however, the accuser must take the cards. The object is to get rid of all one's cards. The one who first does this wins the game. Davy Jones.

QUEER OLD MINES The Orpiment Workings In the Snow Clad Himalayas. A DAllLING BLAZE OF COLOR. Splendors of the Dismal Mineral Pits as They Sparkle In a Brilliant Mosaio of Gold and Rubies hi tho Light of th• Flashing Torches. High on the flanks of Tirtch Mir. one of the allOW clad giant Himalayas of Chitral, are the old mines where orpi- ment is found. Orpiment is a naky, flexible mineral, a compound of arsenic and sulphur, the basis of certain beau. tiful yellow pigments. the nuriffigmen- tum of the ancients. In \Sport and Life In the Further Himalayas\ Major Ketution describes his visit to these workings. the first visit to them, he was told, ever wade by a European: •\lho. boles through %clutch the mines are entered are in the face of a precipi- tous rock and are reached by a narrow, downward sloping ledge. They were about large enough four it hyena to walk into without Inconvenience. \Oct my orrival live or fax men with bloodshot eyes anti faces covered with yellow dust crawled out. Although not injurious to health. the orpiment, I was told, fiffeeted the hands of the miners in ii peculiar way. That was obvious enough The hands of many of the men I saw were shrunken to the bone, of a dark slaty color and covered with knots and excrescences. \I told nay guide to lead on, and he disappeared Into one of the holes. I followed more deliberately, surprised at being able to get In at all. Ana crawling a few yards we found our selves In a small chamber about eight- een feet long. in which a man could stand upright. The air was fresher than I had expected. but there was no orpiment In might. \In the farther corner there was what tooked like ri well. and toward this any guide led me. Following his example. I sat oil the floor and let my- self down feet foremost Into this dark and norrow hole The shaft did not go straight down. and on the whole It was easier to descend than n factory citim ney, for here mot there were projecting ledges on which you could rest your toes. But for any oue except a sweep or an orpiment miner it Was difficult enough. \After descending some twenty feet I felt my legs swinging in space. a hand grasped one foot. guided It to a rock and I let myself down on solid earth. I was in another chamber, smaller than the first and stuffier. But still there W1114 110 orpiment \A hole appeared to lead away In a downward direction from the farther end of the chamber. and on one side a lot of dellria 1131(1 fallen. My guide cheerfully told me that this was the grave of eight men, who had been bur- led tinder this fall of stone while work- ing at the end of the possage. \My guide now disoppeared Into the hole and I had to follow.

In this painful manner we reached another chamber, ill which it was possible to sit up \Here at last was the orpiment. and it WAR almost worth the trouble of com- ing to see.
